To extend your holiday, why not add a couple of nights in Oslo – where we offer a centrally located hotel – if you are flying via Norway's cosmopolitan capital?

This Holiday in a nutshell

great downhill and cross-country skiing for all

high-quality hotel with pool and good food

close to a lively village

ideal for families

The great mountain moorland region of Hardangervidda lies above the fjords of western Norway, a snowy wilderness that is a paradise for winter holidays. Here, set by a frozen lake, the lively village of Geilo is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere and superb skiing – cross-country ski trails start from the foot of the village and link to the extensive ski domain in the fells above, while there is also easy access to the fantastic downhill pistes.

Bigger than the other places we offer in Norway, Geilo has more going on and has plenty of skiing to offer both cross-country and downhill skiers of all levels.

With this irresistible combination of a high-quality hotel and a good-sized, friendly village offering equally fantastic cross-country and downhill skiing, it is no surprise that Geilo is a place with a very wide appeal, attracting families with children of all ages (including teenagers) during the school holidays, and couples looking for some great skiing during the quieter months of January and March.
